Game Mechanics: Halls of Testing Trash - Immune to Snare

[Daldaen]

On live none of the trash mobs are immune to snare.

On P99 however all the drakes, wurms and chromadracs in EToV are immune to snare spells.

I can find no evidence these should be flagged with such immunities.

[Freakish]

The ones in NToV and WToV are immune as well.

I seem to remember a massive post long ago about how no immunities to anything should exist until the late Velious patch.

are you suggesting that mobs in sky should be rootable/snareable?

They may not have immune flags, but their MR and level are so high it won't land.

even the faeries on island 1? Also, those pegasus splits that people charm are lvl 53 at the highest, and seem to almost never resist mez/stun/calm.

We were there for an hour and 50 minutes and killed 14 mobs. We had no druids, rangers, or necros, and the SK was a whiner, so I was on snare dut

For all but the glimmer drakes, I cast Atol's for snare, then used a combination of rend robe, sunstrike, and icy spear for damage dealing. For glimmer drakes (which are highly magic resistant), I cast icy spear and lure of ice. The only time I came close to running low on mana was when on full burn against glimmer drakes. I only drew agro once over the night, and that was because of a series of resisted snares.

Snare was resisted more than half the time, so I also spent a lot of time and mana fulfilling this role

He talks about how Glimmers were super MR and he didn't bother trying to snare.

Before the immunities patch (like October 2001 off the top of my head) Verant did not have the ability to give NPCs immunity to certain spells. So they just gave all of the bosses (and a few random things like spite golems) 10000 magic resist.

All of the trash bees, for example, should be CCable with mez/charm/root/snare/whatever but they are incorrectly flagged immune.

I use my necro epic and solo island 1 all the time.

Perfect! Didn't think I'd be able to find much evidence proving a negative.

Glimmers being high MR I could see that. But everything else he was able to snare with just a Atol's.
